Agriculture is heavily subsidized in the USA too, but no one complains about it because the supermarket is well stocked. I live in a city, so the idea that the highly organized market driven system that makes plentiful and tasty nutrition available to me at any given moment might change somehow is something that I’m not interested in facilitating in any way. I like it fine, although I’m also happy to supplement my diet with fresh organic food I grow myself. I know people that own some arable land out in the country, and I highly doubt they would be down with such a program either, unless they were well paid with something besides food for participating. They also own firearms by the way, just like most farmers in this country.

Right now I live in the same community I was born in, and the temperate climate is not appreciably any different than when I was a kid over fifty years ago. I had a really good summer crop in our garden, and am attempting to grow a winter crop, mainly of root vegetables, but it has been too cold.
